The study considers two generations of Anglo-Indian women in
post-colonial India, and their social interaction with their
community. It explores Anglo-Indian women as part of a cultural
whole and as participants in the mainstream cultural claims of
India. It notably highlights the marginalisation of Anglo-Indian
women in decision-making, focusing on the multiple patriarchal
dominations they face, and how it impacts on their role within
society. It argues that the historical gendering of the
Anglo-Indian community has concrete consequences in terms of
familial, cultural and organizational links with the diaspora,
perceptions and attitudes of other Indian communities towards the
Anglo-Indian community in schools, neighborhoods and workplaces and
significant discriminations based on colour of skin, economic
resources and conformity to gender stereotypes. Examining how
different forms of race, class and gender discrimination intersect
in the lives and experiences of Anglo-Indian women, this work
provides insights into contemporary gender relations in India, and
is a key read for scholars in gender and sociology, as well as
minority and diaspora studies.
